Breakfast, RAAM Solo Finisher, Airport

I rode the fixie with half a dozen others to breakfast in Annapolis. We had a nice, easy, conversational pace the whole way down. After breakfast, we eased over to the RAAM finish line, and after waiting only a couple of minutes, got to see David Misch from Austria finish 5th in the RAAM Solo division. He looked pretty good for having ridden 3,000 miles in 9 1/2 days.

Following that excitement, we made our way back home, and then Mike and I rode to the Airport where he was going to work. After dropping him off, I proceeded back to pick up my car at the hospital. I struggled a bit on the fixie this morning. I’m simply tired.

And so ends an uneventful week of riding. I won’t be back on the bike until Tuesday and will appreciate the rest. My left Achilles tendon is a bit sore and can use the break. I only had 130 miles on the week. I need to get that much higher as I ramp up for a big October.
